Protector

Protetor Part 2

Virgil was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't notice anything before it was to late.

He looked around to find his headphones were lying on the ground next to him along with someone else.

"Oh my gosh are you okay? I am so sorry I wasn't paying attention." He sputtered.

"It's alright you seemed to be having a rough day from the looks of things and beside I shouldn't have blocked your path.... Um Virgil correct?"

Virgil found him staring at the most popular person in school ever. Roman Mensch was looking down at him and was offering his hand to him. He quickly was pulled to his feet and was standing face to face with him.

"Yeah and you're Roman correct?" he mumbled.

"Yes we have history together anyway I should be heading to class but maybe we could talk some more.... Also Happy Birthday!"

"How did you know it was my birthday?"

"Well two people are quickly making their way towards you with a bunch of balloons and gifts in hand so I kind of put two and two together."

And with that Roman smiled and walked away leaving Virgil dumbfounded. He soon felt himself picked up from behind snapping him out of his thoughts.

"Patton what are you doing?"

"It's a Birthday hug Virgil! Me and Remy wanted to celebrate so we got a bunch of stuff."

Virgil looked up to find Remy had his hands filled with birthday presents and balloons but still managed to carry his Starbucks.

"Remy is all that stuff for me?"

"Of course it is your birthday and from the looks of things you are having a decent day so far..." Remy smirked and began to sip his drink a smile on his face.

"What do you mean?"

"Girl, it is so obvious you are in love." Remy then handed him the gifts and slowly sauntered off.

Patton let out a squeal of delight.

"I'm so happy for you! Tell me more as we get to class the bell should be ringing in any minute."

"But I'm not...."

He sat down and was immediately overwhelmed. Virgil's teacher was weird and obsessed with myths and legends and a lot of the time instead of learning what they needed to they would end up on discussions involving unicorns,achilles, and etc. Today his teacher decided to talk about dragons. He let out a groan and put his head down and glanced up to find Patton giving him a concerned look. He was about to reassure Patton but all of a sudden the teacher was in front of his desk.

"Mr. Ladon would please explain why a Chinese dragon would be carrying a pearl?"

"Um...It was because after they reached a certain level they would obtain a pearl and they usually represented wisdom or power.." Virgil felt his heart speed up.

"You are somewhat corre-"

He didn't wait to hear the rest he quickly left the room and made his way to the bathroom and he looked at his hands to find his fingernails had morph to claws. He was about calm down when he notice bulge on his back. He took off his hoodie and a pair of bat like wings stuck out.

Virgil didn't know how long he waited in there but when he walked back into class he was given a lecture.

Today was going to be a long day.

By the time the school day was over all he wanted to do was go home and lock himself in his room forever but before he could a small pixie flew right up to him and handed him a paper of some sort. It contained an address and nothing else.

Virgil used his phone to help find the way. The building look like an ordinary thrift shop of some sort and the sign said closed but the lights were on inside.

"Hello?" The door was open but he didn't see any one. He walked all the way inside and notice that everything was meticulously placed throughout the place. He found a person his age hunched over a desk mumbling incoherently and writing something.

"Um,excuse me." The person jumped but once he looked at Virgil he relaxed.

"Salutations, I'm very sorry I lost track of time. Virgil correct?"

"Uh yeah and don't worry about it you seemed busy."

"This is just some paperwork that is due next month but there is no point in explaining, I am Logan Ophiuchus your trainer and if you don't mind let's get started."
